Behind the scenes of Journey Indiana: Underground, WTIU's most recent documentary. This one-hour program takes viewers inside some of Indiana's most fascinating yet little-known places!

Underground the Big Wyandotte cave in southern Indiana. Tour groups are gathered, wearing hard hats with head lamps. The cave room is just tall enough to stand in—around 6-8 feet high.

Inside of a cave in Corydon, IN. Pre-historic bones are uncovered in a shallow, square dig site, roughly 1 by 2 feet in size. Dig tools are neatly arranged in a row above the square cut out. The bones are very small, mostly animal teeth.

A 7-person caving group congregates outside the entrance to a river cave during Cave Capers, an annual gathering in Southern Indiana hosted by the Central Indiana Grotto. Their gear includes waist and chest-high waders, some bright red, some purple; hard hats; boots and head lamps. A short waterfall flows out of the cave entrance, surrounded by lush green plant life.

A Spring Mill tour guide stands tall in a rectangular boat, pointing to rock inside of Twin Caves. A small group of 4-5 people watch and listen intently. All are wearing bright orange life vests. The entrance to the cave is covered in moss and fern plants.

His autobiography details an unforgettable scene upon his arrival for the 1902 cycling tour in Australia: "I could not restrain my tears," he wrote, recalling ship upon ship donned with American flags at the Australian port. The adoration was so impactful that his daughter bears the name: Sydney.

A formal portrait of the Taylor family. On his left, Taylor's wife Daisy Victoria Morris poses with a hand at her hip and dons a large feathered top hat. At his right, Taylor's daughter Syndey is dressed in a frilly gown and sits atop a table. A hoop is draped over her knees. Taylor stands proudly in the center, dressed in a black suit.

Taylor's battles were unending. Despite his successes on the track, White nationalist ideals plagued his personal and professional life. The biggest irony? Taylor remarked suffering more contempt on American soil than by any other country he toured when racing.

Born in Indianapolis, Ind., Taylor collected nicknames like, "the Cyclone," "the Whirlwind," and "the Comet." By his early 20s, Taylor had captured the world cycling championship, the American cycling crown, and had set dozens of world speed cycling records—all while enduring Jim Crow era racism.

Major Taylor and French champion Edmond Jacquelin prepare to race the 1908 Grand Prix de Paris. Both athletes face toward the camera, sitting atop their bikes; Taylor on the left, Jacquelin on the right.

Black Hoosier history you should know: Marshall "Major" Taylor (1878 - 1932)

La Vie au Grand Air (The Life in the Open Air) French magazine cover from 11 May, 1907 featuring Marshall "Major" Taylor.

The black and white photo shows Taylor staring confidently just past the camera. His face is slightly furrowed from the direct sunlight.

Underneath his portrait, a line of text reads: "Major Taylor, qui vient de faire jeudi sa rentrée en piste." English translation: "Major Taylor, who just made his return to the track on Thursday."

"Janusz Korczak—the leader of an orphanage who went with his orphans to Treblinka—he was offered the opportunity to survive. Korczak was the equivalent of Mr. Rogers. Non-Jews flocked to hear his radio broadcast. Are we going to say that he went 'like sheep to the slaughter?'"

A large, jagged tone with a bouquet of 1 dozen red roses and 1 dozen white roses.

The stone is engraved in Polish. It reads: "Janusz Korczak. Henryk Goldszmit. I Dzieci." English translation: "Janusz Korczak. Henryk Goldszmit. And children."

A bittersweet day as WTIU staff pose for the last time on the original INDIANA NEWSDESK set. 🎥 Don't worry—the show isn't going anywhere! While Studio 6 receives a much-deserved renovation, we are grateful to our crew (present and past) for maintaining this exact set for the last decade. 🛠

A photo of WTIU staff posing next to the INDIANA NEWSDESK set inside of TV Studio 6. Lighting hangs from metal beams in the ceiling. In the background, blue walls with the faint outline of the Indiana map create a backdrop for the set. Two tables - one round and one large desk - sit in front. Around 20 staff members surround the tables and smile at the camera.

We are still a-glow from last week's open house. 😄 There's no greater joy than bringing viewers inside the world of public broadcasting!

The WTIU TV studio is lit with blue lights. In the background, there is a yellow PBS KIDS tent. In the foreground, groups of people chat around standing tables.

Inside the WTIU TV studio. A WTIU employee has one hand on a large camera. A young woman holds the other side of the camera. He is showing her how it functions, while two friends observe with curiosity. All of them are cast in a light, pink glow from colored lights overhead.
